Gale Caused High Tides But Did Little Damage:
Boston, Sept. 30.-The coast of Southern New England was to-day visited by a fierce gale which caused unusually high tides, but which, having been anticipated for several days, did only slight damage to shipping. The storm center was about 150 miles south of Fire Island light. This afternoon the wind blew 44 miles an hour off Block Island and some rain fell, but the precipitation was slight. The harbor is filled with southbound vessels which are waiting for the storm center to pass out of their course. No serious disaster has been reported.
